Software License dialog box
The TV80 system needs a software license to receive data from gear monitoring sensors. Each software license “unlocks” a set of functionalities. The Software License settings allow you to type a license code (text string) to unlock the TV80 system functionality.
How to open
The Software License dialog box can be opened from the Setup menu.

Description
There are different types of licenses available depending on your working scenario or specific operational needs. You can only have one active license at a time. Without a valid license, your TV80 system will not show real time data from the gear monitoring sensors.
The following licensing options are available for the TV80 system:
•  No License
–  Without a valid license, your TV80 system will not show real time data from the gear monitoring sensors.
–  You can, however, define and configure your own set up of gear monitoring sensors for a later use.
–  You can add an SR Replayer to replay some previously recorded PX sensors data
–  Next to the software version in the bottom bar, you can see if no license is installed.
•  Purse Seine License
–  You can set up a purse seine gear and add and configure all the gear monitoring sensors related to this gear.
–  You can set up the interfaces with gear monitoring receivers and define the communication parameters.
–  You can visualize gear monitoring data on some specific gauges.
•  Full Trawl and Purse Seine License
–  You can set up a trawl gear (single and twin) and a purse seine gear and add and configure all the gear monitoring sensors related to any of them.
–  You can set up the interfaces with gear monitoring receivers and define the communication parameters.
–  You can visualize gear monitoring data on all existing gauges.
•  Full Trawl and Purse Seine License with Positioning License
–  You can set up a trawl gear (single and twin) and a purse seine gear and add and configure all the gear monitoring sensors related to any of them.
–  You can set up the interfaces with gear monitoring receivers and define the communication parameters.
–  You can visualize gear monitoring data on all existing gauges.
–  You can use the TP90 transceiver on your TV80 system and receive information about the position of the sensors.
The software license is linked to the physical computer. You cannot move the TV80 system software from one computer to another unless you also request and install a new license.
In order to obtain a software license you must contact one of our dealers or distributors. You can also use the request form on our website, or contact our support department directly.
Note
Once you receive your software license string(s), do not lose them. We suggest that you copy the information into a text file (for example Notepad), and add relevant information. Place the text file on the computer desktop, and make sure that backup copies are made.
Note
The licensing system may experience trouble or stop working if you add additional LAN ports to your computer. Additional LAN ports will be created when you connect external devices such as mobile phones or LAN port adapters to your computer.
